Unicycle Loves You indulges in a dizzying array of moods and motifs on Mirror, Mirror. Now paired down to a trio, the Chicago group intertwines cheeky humor and romantic obsession in musical settings influenced by such disparate new wave and post-punk acts as Wire, ABC and Mazzy Star. The mannered-to-frantic vocals of Jim Carroll and the wistful yet biting tones of Nicole Vitale provide a provocative yin/yang combination throughout these tracks. Anyone in the mood for ultra-caffeinated ‘80s-style pop will get a jolt out of “Time Bandits,” “Mountain Lungs” and similar tunes. Vintage synthesizer textures and a thumping beat give “Quagga” a Day-Glo luster, while “Evil Twin” is a lovelorn ballad lent character by sparse electric piano. Vitale’s featured solo moments are a highpoint, with the Phil Spector-like title number giving her room to emote elegantly. When she harmonizes with Carroll on the billowing soul tune “There’s a Giant Walking In My Heart,” the effect is transcendent. By turns nervous and languid, highbrow and zany, Mirror, Mirror is a rich sonic confection.
